Bethenny Frankel’s Lost at Sea Tale, Truth or Fiction? [VIDEO]
Bethenny Frankel has been under fire for bringing fake drama to her “Real”ity show. In my opinion, she’s full of more sh*t then a Thanksgiving Turkey.
THE DRAMA
The drama was at an all-time high when Bethany, her husband, her therapist and a camera man from her TV show got lost at sea. On a trip from Block Island to Nantucket, MA the GPS broke and the small crew had to be rescued by a Tow Boat after being on sea for over twenty hours.
The Tow boat drivers name is Tim Russell.
TIM KEEPS IT REAL
Tim is the one who spilled the beans. When questioned by the media (The Jewish Journal) Tim explained that the only reason he was called was because the coast guard refused to come out, due to the lack of danger.
He says not only wasn’t the crew in any danger, the navigation system that was reported as broken was actually working. To further carry out the charade, when they arrived on shore, Bethany didn’t go into her theatrics of kissing the ground until the cameras were rolling.
ACTION!!!
Russell went on to say that he never received the alleged $2,800 that Bethany said she paid him during her recent appearance on Ellen.
When questioned about staging the whole incident for ratings, Bethany tells E! Online,
‘Fiction? For some reason the craziest things just happen to happen to me,’ the former Real Housewives of New York star told E! ‘Not many people have an iguana poop in their suite on their honeymoon or their baby nurse attempt to baptize their child.
‘I wish that boat trip were fiction rather than the nightmare it actually was. My truth is stranger than fiction.’
‘It was very scary. Absolutely traumatic.
‘We were in the middle of the deep sea with no land or anybody near us. The captain had never, in 30 years, called the Coast Guard.’
Bethany then leveraged twitter to appeal to her fans.
Watch the Clip and see for yourself. Ellen asks a few key questions and she gets frazzled. The story is all scattered as she searches for details. Ellen knows it’s a bunch of bull and she loves every minute of it.
